Cartier GG Timmons and Monya Money White were born to teenage mothers who were also best friends. The two young neglectful mothers allowed Moneys alcoholic grandmother to raise their daughters. At 15, GG formed her own crew aptly named the Cartier Cartel. The main and only vision of the crew GG, Money, Bam, Lil Mama, and Shanine was to do petty crimes in order to wear the flyest gear. While Money loves boys, clothes, and cash (in that order), GG is tired of the petty boosting to keep a few dollars in her pockets. Always wise beyond her years, GG observes how the corner boys hustle drugs and figures her crew could do the same. Can they compete with rival dealers and avoid taking the fall when the block gets hot with 5-0? Or will they find themselves spiraling out of control as sex, drugs and money deepen tensions between the crew.
